Kirk Golden II

GOLDEN, Kirk E. II, A.K.A. "Golden Boy" & "Superman" - age 50 of Grand Blanc, died June 4, 2023. Kirk was born October 17, 1972, in Mishawaka, IN, the son of Kirk E. Golden and Janice Holloway. Young Kirk Golden was a hard working Olympic-caliber wrestler. His favorite movie was Vision Quest and he tried to model the same single-minded focus and passion to everything he did in life. He was always going 200mph and was always full of life. He chased his passion into the fitness world and ran multiple world class fitness centers as an Area Supervisor for Fitness USA for many years. There, he honed his gift of being an encourager and a motivator. He met his wife, Jennifer, and they married on December 7, 2002. He threw himself into networking and the Life business, becoming a high spirited speaker and encourager of aspiring leaders all over the country. Kirk’s fun, inspirational and exuberant speaking style was loved and admired everywhere he traveled to serve. Kirk loved to help people and was generous with his time. He would talk to you and encourage you all day if necessary until you felt like you could accomplish anything. Kirk's caring nature spilled over into the senior market, launching a home health care business in hopes that he could make a difference with elderly care in his community. He loved to travel and be in, on & by the water; especially in Florida. Kirk and Jennifer have two wonderful children, Airabella and Maksim, who are their biggest source of joy and pride in life. Fly high, Golden Boy. We will all be cherishing all of the wonderful memories until we see you again ... Luke 23:43
